Answer - B
Liquid and Gas can be compressed because of the freely moving particles in them. Solids cannot be compressed as their structure is fixed.

The phrase below that is able to be compressed is D. gas only.
Although it is possible to compress liquids, it requires a great deal of pressure to accomplish a little compression, which is why liquids and solids are often referred to as incompressible.
